Tree and Leaf is a small book published in 1964, containing two works by J. R. R. Tolkien: "On Fairy-Stories" is a 60 page essay by J. R. R. Tolkien which discusses the fairy-story as a literary form. The essay is significant because it contains Tolkien's explanation of his philosophy on fantasy and thoughts on mythopoiesis (the creation of myths). Moreover, the essay is an early analysis of speculative fiction by one of the most important authors in the genre. "Leaf by Niggle" is a short story and is often seen as an allegory of Tolkien's own creative process, and, to an extent, of his own life.

Review:

‘A haunting and successful demonstration of the qualities of faerie’
New York Times

‘The book must be read... it goes far to explain the nature of his art and justify his success’
The Cambridge Review

‘While springing from deep-rooted convictions, his art has imaginative magic of a very rare quality’
Birmingham Post
